  • 8 oz Spaghetti uncooked
  • 1/4 cup Cashews
  • 1/2 large avocado
  • 1/2 cup basil loosely packed
  • 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes oil packed, but drained
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Cook Spaghetti according to directions on package.
  • Whilst the Spaghetti is cooking, prepare pesto.
  • Combine all ingredients for the pesto in a food processor and process until almost smooth. Little bits of unprocessed Cashew is fine, as it adds texture to the sauce.
